O Jesus Christ, Grow Thou In Me

Verse 1

O Jesus, Saviour, grow in me, and all things else recede: to you my heart would nearer be, from sin be daily freed.

Verse 2

Each day embrace my weakness, Lord, with your supporting might; and let my death be lost in life, my darkness in your light.

Verse 3

Let faith in you and in your strength my every motive move; may you alone be my delight, my passion and my love.

Verse 4

Fill me with gladness from above, hold me by strength divine. Lord, let the glow of your great love through my whole being shine.

Verse 5

Show me your glory more and more, Lord, holy, wise, and true! Your living image I would be, in joy and sorrow too.

Verse 6

Make this poor self grow less and less, and be yourself my aim; and through your grace, make me each day more worthy of your name.
